Hi Mal,
The Firewire adapter, still readily available, must use the TI
(Texas Instruments) chipset to work satisactorily with the
Flex. Do a search in the usual places - those that use the TI
chipset proudly say so, those that don't, don't.
Other parts are prone to crackling/dropping out, needing
ridiculous buffer lengths, or even not working at all at
higher sample rates.
It is a well-known issue not just with the Flex but with
recording audio interfaces and other applications that tax the
link heavily, too.
Also, don't presume to run the Flex on a hand-me-down or slow
'puter - the software needs something fast, say a good
dual-core on up.

Mal - can't recall the details, but USB-firewire adapters
don't work with the Flex - or at least, most of them. There's
been plenty of discussion about this on the
[email protected] group.
I'd check there before buying any USB-Firewire adapter.
Cheers,
